Septimus Miller was the son of Henry ‘Money’ Miller the well-known financier and politician. After his education at Melbourne Boys’ Grammar School (1866-71) he acted as manager of this father’s stations at Kulkyne and in the Riverina; upon his father’s death in 1888, Miller inherited part of the estimated £1,620,000 estate. But it was horse racing that Miller made his name, having from his early youth an enthusiastic love of horses and racing and with brother Albert, conducted a large racing empire.
